The combinations formula is nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}
n = complete value set     r = desired goal
to find combinations we find all combos for 5,6,7,8,and 9 and add them together.
which come out as 126, 84, 36, 9 and 1
Therefore there are 256 combinations

The course grade in a statistics class is the average of the scores on five examinations. Suppose that a student's scores on the
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

84 is the highest possible course average

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of examinations = 5

Average = sum of scores in each examination/total number of examinations

Let the score for the last examination be x.

Average = (66+78+94+83+x)/5 = y

5y = 321+x

x = 5y -321

If y = 6, x = 5×6 -321 =-291.the student cannot score -291

If y = 80, x = 5×80 -321 =79.he can still score higher

If If y = 84, x = 5×84 -321 =99.This would be the highest possible course average after the last examination.

If y= 100

The average cannot be 100 as student cannot score 179(maximum score is 100)

Evaluate the function f (x)= x squared -4x+1 at the given values of the independent variable and simplify.
Ivan
<h3>Given</h3>

... f(x) = x² -4x +1

<h3>Find</h3>

... a) f(-8)

... b) f(x+9)

... c) f(-x)

<h3>Solution</h3>

In each case, put the function argument where x is, then simplify.

a) f(-8) = (-8)² -4(-8) +1 = 64 +32 + 1 = 97

b) f(x+9) = (x+9)² -4(x+9) +1

... = x² +18x +81 -4x -36 +1

... f(x+9) = x² +14x +46

c) f(-x) = (-x)² -4(-x) +1

... f(-x) = x² +4x +1
